yi-ching lin photography 
in my mother’s
household and her
mother’s household
and the household
before her and
so forth, there
was always space
for tea
in between the
task of making
ends meet. time
was measured
loosely on
the buoyancy
of a handful of
leaves, and
bitterness was
left at the
bottom of each
cup before
we could say
goodnight
.

Y,
This is one of those pictures that I just get lost in …. staring, absorbing, feeling. The colors are magnificent and inviting I can almost smell the aromas. The hand position and especially the expression on the girls face are priceless. Your timing was impeccable. As if that wasn’t enough, you top it all off with a wonderful poem. I used to drink tea more than I do now but this makes me want to get back to it. I love the last line!…
Heading off to start some water heating!
Thanks for such a gift tonight!
Peace,
Stephen
